Bosses
Please consult our Halls of Atonement encounter journal pages for more information regarding what the bosses do exactly in each difficulty.
Halkias, the Sin-Stained Goliath
- Spawn the boss by killing the 3 Shards of Halkias around the starting area.
- Do not stand on the tank (
Crumbling Slam).
- Quickly dodge the red swirly (
Heave Debris).
- Immediately dispel the fear that goes on a random DPS (
Sinlight Visions).
- Dodge the rotating cross-pattern laser (
Refracted Sinlight). Keep in mind that it can change direction randomly.
- On Mythic, stay inside the boss's red circle in order to be immune to
the fear (
Light of Atonement).

Echelon
- Spawn the boss by attempting to open the door at the top of the stairs.
- Quickly dodge the red swirly on the ground (
Blood Torrent).
- Gather the adds and kill them near each other (
Stone Call).
- The player that gets the
Curse of Stone will also get a brown circle around them, and they should quickly move to the dead adds so that the boss will destroy them and prevent them from reviving (
Stone Shattering Leap).
- On Mythic, all players get the curse, but still only one player gets
the brown circle. Also, the adds now have a cast that should be interrupted
(
Villainous Bolt).

High Adjudicator Aleez
- Prioritize interrupting
Volley of Power over
Bolt of Power.
- If fixated by the add spawn, bring it to one of the red vessels in the area
to have it despawn (
Vessel of Atonement).
- If not fixated, stay away from the add (
Pulse from Beyond).
- Dodge the big orange swirlies (
Anima Fountain).

Lord Chamberlain
- Dodge the statue thrown around by the boss, indicated by a red arrow on the
ground (
Telekinetic Toss).
- Dodge the frontal cone that is cast in a random direction (
Unleashed Suffering).
- Keep the tank alive through the 18 second ramping DoT (
Stigma of Pride).
- Dodge all four statues after the boss teleports to the middle of the room.
- The tank should stand between the red glowing statue and the boss when he is
casting
Ritual of Woe.
- On Mythic, the boss casts
Ritual of Woe on all of the statues at once, so four players need to intercept the beams.
